What does Category 5e, Category 6 wiring and Gigabit Ethernet mean?
Categories 5, 5e, 6, and Gigabit Ethernet Standards TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association), ISO (International Organization for Standardization), BICSI (Building Industry Consulting Service International), and others have collaborated on the Category 5e and category 6 standards. At this time, category 6 cabling, connecting hardware, and cabling performance requirements are firmly specified and unlikely to be revised further and should be ratified this year. Industry activity is currently focused on developing and improving high frequency test methods. Category Cat 5 enhanced (CAT 5e) The new TIA standard released in 2000 is TIA 568B. In this standard, Category 5 is replaced by Category 5e. Category 5 is no longer supported in horizontal cabling applications. Category 5e is a published standard, currently designated as TIA 568A-A5. While Category 5e is limited to 100 MHz, it adds all the new performance parameters, and has higher performance in NEXT(Near-end Crosstalk) than its C
